Spend More on Fashion and Beauty Items to Save Money
  • Line drawers and closets with cedar sachets to keep moths (and holes) at bay.

  • Splurge on pretty padded hangers so clothes stay in store-bought shape.

  • Instead of wasting countless dollars on drugstore trial and error, book a professional makeup or color appointment and you'll never buy the wrong product again.

  • Seek out a good tailor. After a few nips and tucks, even inexpensive clothes can look custom-made.

  • Feed your soles. Rather than shelling out for a new pair, have your favorite shoes repaired regularly.
